I’m taking part in Sands Ribbon Run

I’ve committed to taking part in Sands Ribbon Run which takes place during Baby Loss Awareness Week (9-15 October) for every much-loved baby sadly not here today.

Sands ensure that everyone affected by the loss of a baby gets the support they need and deserve when facing the toughest of times. They campaign for change, provide training for midwives and healthcare professionals, and support research so that fewer babies die and so that less families experience the tragedy of losing their baby. Anything you are able to donate means so much.

Thank you.

Introducing myself.

Tuesday 9th Sep
Hey, my names Vikki and I became a part of the club we don’t want anyone else to join on February 12th 2019.
My Son Kyran fell into his eternal sleep around 5.30am with no warning and no goodbyes. He was a very happy and healthy little boy who, the night before this nightmare began, I had rocked to sleep, put to bed and given a kiss on the forehead and said goodnight after a lovely day spent together as we always did. Ribbon Run is such a big deal to me, without SANDS I don’t know what I would of done after leaving the hospital without my son.. I walked out with a memory box handmade with personalised and comforting items. Myself and my son both had a little giraffe each and each item was very thoughtful, the note was also a lovely touch. Their bereavement support is unbeaten - Without SANDS this wouldn’t be possible, not many of us would be able to make it through this heartache, my ex partner unfortunately didn’t. 

I now live one life for the 3 of us, I am their voice and I will keep their memory alive, I will raise as many funds as I can for this amazing charity and yes, I will also be donating myself.
I welcome all members, bereaved or just want to do a good deed. 

Thank you for reading if you managed to get this far. May all of your days be as bright as our angels wings high up in heaven and as happy as they are as they play on the clouds. 
Vikki. X
